Thank you for ordering a Drop Box from Monterey City Disposal Service. Please read the guidelines below so that you understand how to properly use your container.
Please load the box evenly. Drop boxes cannot be loaded above the top rail of the container. Drop boxes loaded over 10 tons (20,000 lbs.) cannot be hauled and must be unloaded by the customer.
The boxes are not allowed to contain hazardous materials, including paint, tires, chemicals, or any other hazardous materials.
Dirt and concrete are dense and heavy. ¼ to ½ full boxes can exceed the 10-ton maximum limit.
Additional charges will be assessed for problem waste, including mattresses, tires, tree stumps, and some appliances. These fees will be charged to the customer.
Hazardous waste, such as electronic waste, TVs, computers, cell phones, fluorescent lights, and batteries, is not allowed in the dumpster.
Boxes placed in City of Monterey commercial parking spaces require permission (and possibly a charge) from the City of Monterey Parking Division. Call 831-646-3953 to obtain the necessary permit.
Clearance of 22 feet overhead and 30 feet in front of the box is required.
An additional charge of $105.56 will be added for any box improperly loaded (overweight or over the top rail) if relocation is needed or if additional days are needed before the container is to be emptied.
If the customer decides to keep the box after it is loaded on the truck, it will be dumped and returned to the customer (if it has not already been rented by another customer). This will count as another box and be charged at the rate described in the top section.
Exact times of placement or removal are not available.
All boxes rent for seven days unless otherwise agreed upon by the customer and Monterey City Disposal Service, Inc.
Boxes kept over 7 days without service will be charged an additional $17.28 per day.
When boxes are placed or removed, the weight of the truck can scratch, crack, or break driveways. Severely overweight boxes may sink into the driveway. Customers must ensure that their private property can withstand the weight of the truck (30,200 lbs.) plus the weight of the filled box. Monterey City Disposal Service, Inc. is not responsible for damage caused to the driveway.
If the landfill rejects a drop box for clean yard/green waste, dirt, or concrete, the normal garbage rates (listed above) apply. Note: Please call if you have questions about contaminants. (Mixed materials will be charged at the trash rate.)
Concrete boxes containing rebar or large pieces of concrete may be charged additional fees.
There is a charge of $321.00 per hour if the driver has to wait for material or vehicles to be moved to access the account.
No Treated Wood. Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). DTSC defines Treated Wood Waste (TWW) as wood treated with chemical preservatives to prevent wood rot and decay from weathering, insects, and fungus.
